“They work, they grind, and when they had their chances they definitely capitalized,” Smith said of the Senators.
Klingberg tied it 1-1 on the power play at 16:06. After taking a pass from Celebrini, Klingberg scored with a wrist shot from above the right circle that went over Ullmark’s blocker with Alexander Wennberg screening the goalie.
“That was a great screen by [Wennberg] in front,” Klingberg said.
Goodrow made it 2-1 for San Jose at 7:47 of the second period. After Ullmark stopped Mario Ferraro’s one-timer on the rush, Wennberg backhanded a rebound that went in off Goodrow’s skate.
Zetterlund then tied it 2-2 at 18:38 with a goal against his former team. Tyler Kleven found him cutting through center ice, and Zetterlund’s wrist shot from the right circle beat Nedeljkovic over the glove.
“What a night. It felt unreal,” Zetterlund said. “Great pass by [Kleven] there. I thought I had [Cozens] on the other side, too. But shooting isn’t a bad option either.”
NOTES: Thomas Chabot returned to the Senators lineup after missing three games with an upper-body injury. The defenseman was minus-1 and had three shots on goal in 21:45 of ice time. … Ottawa is 3-0-2 in its past five road games. … Senators forward Claude Giroux was 17-for-21 on face-offs (81 percent).
